‘Terms and Conditions of Sale’
In the terms and conditions following Gems Hygiene Supplies Direct shall be referred to as “the company”.

2. CARRIAGE
Where orders are delivered by carriers other than our own transport, any claims for damages, pilferage etc. must be notified to both the carrier and the company within five working days.

3. CANCELLATION OF ORDER AND RETURN OF GOODS
The company must be informed of cancellation of an order within five working days of the order being received.
